The image shows an engraved portrait of a man from the waist up. He is seated in a relaxed pose with his right arm leaning on an unseen surface and his left hand resting on his knee or lap. The man's head is turned slightly to the side, with his gaze directed towards the viewer. He has facial hair and wavy medium-length hair. He is dressed in a dark, period-style garment with a high collar, ruffles on the shirt beneath, and a heavy outer garment. The background includes a large column on the right and cloud-like formations on the left, suggesting an outdoor setting or depth. The engraving is ornate and classical.
